If this is the only drill hole in 14c that went to a depth of only 30 metres before being abandoned, and turned up with 328 diamonds < than 0.5mm and 93 > 0.5mm, and some bigger stones in only 43.4kg of kimberlite, I would expect to hear more from this pipe for sure.

If my mathematics is correct this is a total of about 421 diamonds per 43.4 kg of kimberlite or, about 100 diamonds per 10kg of kimberlite. This is quite spectacular. So far I haven't found any reports of higher counts from the NWT.
